In spite of the widespread implementation of analytics, its promise of operational effectiveness has not been fully realized. According to a recent survey conducted by independent analyst firm, BI Scorecard, adoption of BI remains surprisingly low—reaching only 25 percent of potential users. For many, the BI tools available are difficult to use and slow to respond and the content they deliver is of little relevance. As a result, business users default to making decisions based on incomplete information or a "gut feeling."
This white paper examines solutions to integrate your analytic, planning, and transactional business applications systems and leverage business analytics into an intelligent business process. By building on existing gains in efficiency and improving operational effectiveness, you can achieve business transformation through greater alignment of information and unprecedented levels of insight.

My company creates training materials in PowerPoint. The class presentation is in the slide portion and additional notes are in the notes page portion. We then use Acrobat to convert the notes page view to PDF. We'd like to use these PDFs as the basis for enhanced ebooks, with application calls, hyperlinks to internal/external content, searchability (this has been a particular challenge to implement thoroughly, particularly in the slide portions of the PDF pages), a comprehensive TOC/bookmarks, comment enabled, and password-protected against changing or extracting content. We've also noticed some glitchiness in the PDFs we generate from PPT notes pages, although hard copies print out crisply.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!
You can do most of that from within the PDFMaker plugin for Powerpoint (write bookmarks, include multimedia, etc.) but Reader-extending to allow commenting has to be done in Acrobat Pro once the PDF has been created, and there are some limits when creating links (web URL links can be added in the PPT and will convert across fine, but links to locally-stored files have to be created in the PDF afterwards). However to bring all these features across you cannot 'print' to PDF - you must use the Save As Adobe PDF option, which employs the PDFMaker plugin. This means you're unable to create the "notes" or "handout" views, only the slide deck itself. Speaker notes are applied to the slide as a text annotation (sticky note) on the top left corner - you can't control that but you can turn it off.
PDFMaker will create bookmarks for each slide (using the title) and you can edit them afterwards if necessary. Full text search should work just fine, though it depends on what's on the slide (some 'text' in PPT isn't rendered as text in the final document). Text within the comments (speaker notes) is not included by default when searching, but you can turn it on via the dropdown menu on the search bar in Acrobat and Reader.
If you want more control over the layout of the PDFs and access to more extensive features, then Powerpoint isn't really the way to start. I would advise using a proper DTP package - InDesign, Quark, etc. While PPT can be coaxed into making hardcopies it was never designed for that workflow.
Thanks for the info, Dave. While I agree that in the long term we should shift to a different kind of source file, we need to keep using PowerPoint for the time being, and we absolutely must be able to include the notes portion with the slide portion when we convert to PDF.
Unfortunately that makes things very difficult. Microsoft doesn't expose the "notes view" page layout to the Save As workflow, it's only created via the print dialog (and if you "print" to PDF you lose everything interactive and get an electronic sheet of paper). PDFMaker only operates via Save As, so it can't therefore include the notes on the bottom of the page, and reimposing the PDF to add them after the creation step is a nightmare of a job.

Horrible, non absorbent towels. I, unfortunately, bought 4 sets of these and am beyond upset. I have purchased sheets and towels many times over the years from overstock and decided to "treat" myself to a higher quality this time. HUGE mistake. These are the softest towels I have ever owned, however, what good is that when they are NON ABSORBENT. They literally move the water around on your skin and they take forever to dry (hand towels are useless and gross as they stay wet).
The towel, while very soft, seems to repel water rather than soak it up. I do eventually get dry, but the fabric seems to slip over my skin. The towel feels wet as I am drying, but I do also. Facecloth is very nice, though. It accepts the soap well and feels soft on my skin as I'm washing.
I love the color (lilac) and softness of these towels, and they came out of the wash nicely. But, boy was I disappointed the first time I used them. What is the purpose of a towel that doesn't absorb water? After showering, if my intent was to air-dry, I wouldn't need a towel. These towels hardly absorb at all. I'm sending them back.
I have used the product and washed it twice. I cannot give the product an excellent rating due to the breakin washinfg of it. My wife does use vinegar instead of softner and in time I believe the product will be everthing I expected.
This s a difficult review to write - we had purchased Calcot towels a few years ago and loved them - soft and absorbent, nice colors, held up well, so we decided to buy four more sets. The color offerings changed from our first purchase and we were so disappointed with the new colors that we sent them back.
Too plush - the towels feel like velour and are not very absorbent. I would have been happier with a less-fluffy towel. Ah well, live and learn. My bulldog now has a couple of excellent towels to snuggle with in her crate!
These towels are wonderfully soft, thick, and absorbent. You don't need two towels after a shower and shampoo if you're using these. The only problem is that they make my older towels seem thin and rough. Time for them to become dog towels.
attractive colors, washes well without changing coloring and shape. Very happy with my choice.
Very good quality. I was pleasantly surprised and may order more.
Super soft absorbent towels. They have not snagged nor have they lost their color. I love them and am about to order some for a shower gift!!! I think I will get myself another set or two too!!!

Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.3 VC on Thursday« on: November 06, 2013, 07:20:03 AM »
As always with a new lens (especially from a third party manufacturer), people state that that they will be happy to consider it as long as it is:
- "Very sharp" -often stated as "sharper than (some optically flawed lens)", "as sharp as (inset name of Canon 'L' class lens)"
- Fast aperture
- Lightweight
- Cheap -often stated in similar terms to the "sharp" criterion
What a shame that no manufacturer has yet managed to rise to the challenge of meeting these conflicting objectives.
Whilst I'm at it, I'm looking for a car that's small, economical to run, can do 0-60mph in under seven seconds, can carry six adults with luggage and costs no more than a family hatchback. Come on Ford, surely it can't be that difficult?
Mini cooper S cabrio? stack adults in the rear seats ,
150-600 would be great
But I am also curious to see how this lens performs against a sigma 50-500 OS,
At introduction the price on this one might be a bit higher, but it could be a good buy in a year or two

Continuous improvement tools and techniques like Lean Enterprise and Six Sigma are proven to eliminate waste, variation and non-value added activities. But, without skilled front-line supervisors in the plant, it is very difficult to sustain these gains and support a culture of continuous improvement.
At Missouri Enterprise, we encourage clients that engage in continuous improvement activities to also utilize a program called Training Within Industry (TWI) to upgrade and/or reinforce their front-line supervisors' and team leaders' skills.
TWI is a dynamic program of interactive learning and practice that teaches essential supervisory skills. It supports continuous improvement and provides an immediate return on investment by helping companies realize the productive potential of their employees.
TWI consists of three standardized programs that cover three essential skills needed by all supervisors and team leaders, across all industries:
- Giving instruction
- Improving methods
- Leading
To help supervisors and team leaders develop these skills, TWI incorporates a four-step process into each of its four modules:
- Preparation
- Presentation
- Application
- Testing
Module One - Job Relations (JR) Training teaches supervisors that people must be treated as individuals and how to build positive employee relationships, increase cooperation and motivation, and effectively resolve conflicts.
Module Two - Job Instruction (JI) Training teaches supervisors how to train employees quickly to do the job correctly, safely and consistently, and how to break down a job for instruction.
Module Three - Job Method (JM) Training teaches supervisors how to improve the way jobs are done and help produce greater quantities in less time through the best use of available people, materials and machines.
Module Four - Job Safety (JS) Methodology Training works to prevent accidents rather than simply resolving their aftermath. The key to Job Safety is "Accidents are Caused, Break the Chain (of causes leading to injury)."

The estimate is based in part on data from the Family Income Survey conducted for the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor and Human Resources, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The survey was conducted in July 2000 and was designed to mimic the March Income Supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS) conducted in the Mainland United States.
Data are available for 1,199 of the 1,298 valid households in the sample. The initial sample size was 1,392; 94 households were determined "not valid" because of housing condition (condemned), they were unoccupied, or other reasons. The questionnaire was administered in face-to-face personal interviews. Income questions refer to money income received during 1999 and resemble the questions used in the CPS in the breadth of income sources for which data are collected.
The estimate is also based on our estimate of the number of related children in poverty in 1995. (See Estimates for 1995 for Puerto Rico).
In light of the manipulations required to derive the estimate for the desired age group and year, we were unable to estimate confidence intervals for the estimate or the difference between the estimate and estimates for previous years.
For further information about the Puerto Rico Family Income Surveys, please contact the Small Area Estimates Branch.
Because direct survey estimates of poverty are not available for the target year, 1997, we use estimates from the 1996 and 1999 Puerto Rico Family Income Surveys. In doing this, we assume a uniform change in poverty for each calendar year between 1996 and 1999.
We use the following steps to compute the number of related children ages 5 to 17 in poverty for 1997.
Population estimates are available for the Commonwealth as a product of the Federal-State Cooperative Population Estimates Program. The population estimates were produced by the U.S. Census Bureau's Population Division, see this non-technical summary for details.

even after weeks of hearing they are definitely not going to be there.
i don't care
i still have hope and will be heart broken if they aren't
even after weeks of hearing they are definitely not going to be there.
I'll be dissapointed if Basement Jaxx won't be there.
Right now, theres no reason to indicate they will be there at all, but who knows?????
Oh, and radiohead. I have 2 Florida shows to look foreward to anyway
Why should I be, Im still going to see them 10 times this year.
why is everyone so sure they arn't going to play Coachella? I don't know where anyones definite answers keep coming from.
regardless, I hope they play. I still have hope. But I'm also planning on seeing them on their tour so if they don't play... whatever I suppose
if they dont play, im gonna kill myself. ill be that disappointed.
Also, I'm pretty sure no one who works for GV is going to give out any serious hints, good or not, about who will be playing. That would just ... ruin it for themselves. If they work so hard to keep it a secret, why would they just tell people certain things, on a message board.. just because?
I don't buy it.
I'm not saying they will for sure be there or for sure wont. I just think its kind of stupid to take message board rumors seriously, weither they are from PF or not.

Hi Erik
ill be a little bit down, but ive got Vancouver dates to look forward to.
Upcoming Shows:
The Knife: 4/9 @ Fox Theater
Coachella: 4/11-13 @ Empire Polo Fields
I really do not care. I will see them through whatever means I need to but I still get the look of a heretic's rambling when I say I've seen them twice.
Literally I've had friends look at me like I've seen Jesus take a bong hit.
about Radiohead?? kinda
about Bowie? EXTREMELY

Dreher - our latest plant to use biogas
In January 2008, Dreher in Hungary became one of the growing number of breweries in the group to introduce a wastewater treatment and biogas generation plant.
Biogas is a by-product of anaerobic wastewater treatment and can be burned to produce energy.
Energy produced from burning the biogas should allow Dreher to reduce its traditional annual energy consumption and the related carbon dioxide emissions by 10%. It also leads to a reduction in the amount of organic matter released to the environment.
Our priorities: Energy & Carbon
See how we're working to reduce our energy and carbon footprint
Packaging at Dreher Breweries 00:04:36
Packaging at Dreher Breweries
Reducing waste in Hungary
Our Hungarian operation Dreher recycles, reuses or sells over 99% of its waste.
As well as helping the business to meet strict regulations on waste, other benefits include reinforcing our position as a responsible company, meeting public expectations and saving costs.
Packaging waste is segregated into a dozen different categories to be baled, compressed and then recycled while the filtration medium, kieselguhr, is now composted instead of being sent to landfill. The brewery is a registered producer of animal feed, so spent grains and yeast can be sold for agricultural purposes. Spent yeast is also sold for other brewing applications.
Hazardous waste is recycled where possible, for example, waste oils are regenerated and electric and electronic waste (old refrigerators and coolers) is disassembled and partly recycled.
Much of the waste that cannot be recycled in these or other ways is incinerated and the heat recovered.
Our priorities: Waste
Support for new enterprises in Hungary
The Hungarian business Dreher Breweries is a firm believer in the country's entrepreneurial spirit and is keen to improve the business skills of young Hungarians.
Its 'Young Entrepreneur of the Future' competition invites university and college students majoring in business studies to come up with an idea to launch their dream enterprise. The three winners receive start-up capital totalling over US$37,000 along with six months' free consultancy in accountancy, legal and tax matters.
Under the motto, 'Implement your dream enterprise', the second competition in 2007 attracted nearly 80 entries from 18 institutions of higher education. These were evaluated by a professional jury and the first prize, along with seed capital of over US$23,000, went to a student at Budapest University of Technology and Economics who came up with a unique pen to improve the handwriting of children, as well as adults with reduced writing skills.

High school seniors heading to college in the fall, listen up: The average cost at the nation's four-year public universities rose 2.9% this year, the smallest annual increase in more than three decades (yay!) but the slowdown in tuition increases have been offset by reductions in federal grant aid (boo!).
According to a new report from the College Board, public colleges have raised tuition prices so sharply in recent years not to gouge students but to bank on the increased state aid. And although the increase is moderate, "this does not mean that college is suddenly more affordable," says economist Sandy Baum, co-author of Trends in Higher Education reports on tuition and financial aid. "It does seem that the [upward tuition] spiral is moderating. Not turning around, not ending, but moderating." Unfortunately, students continue to suffer from the constant cycle of rising costs and serious college debt. Shrinking state aid for public colleges and universities has translated into the cost of public schools to jump $1,770 in inflation-adjusted dollars. The amount of government aid received last year fell $6,646 for every full-time student at those institutions while just five years ago, each student received $9,111 in today's dollars. (For more on this report, click here.)
If college is in your forecast, what do you make of the report's findings? Let us know in the comments section.

Recently, the federal government came out with a proposed plan to encourage academic excellence in college and linking it to federal aid.
Linking financial aid to academic performance? Wasn't this already a thing? I mean, really? I completely understand where they're coming from – I can't slip below a 3.0 or I risk losing scholarships – and would have thought the federal government would be on a similar page. OK, so maybe that's a bit harsh and I'm not saying that the minimum GPA would have to be a 3.0 but having some minimums on grading is something I fully support the federal government doing. I mean, if they view college students as the future, then they are investing in America's future...and they're probably going to want to emerge at the other end having viewed that investment as a smart idea. I know I've seen my fair share of people getting by without incentive to succeed but if your money and future were on the line, you'd see drastically different outcomes. And in the long run, I think we'd appreciate it: Better grades = better GPA = better skills = better jobs. (Or at least in simple terms, that's how it would go.)
There is, however, the other side of the argument: In the same way that I believe high schools are pushed to be teaching to a test and not to the things we really need to learn (let alone the fact that ALL PEOPLE learn differently but standardized testing pushes a one-way system), I believe a federal system for weighing academic merit could descend into standardized tests for college professors. To be able to hold all college students to federal standards, the government would have to, right? THAT I cannot agree with.
The proposed plan also proposes a heavier focus on online classes. You can read my previous post about online textbooks but would a federal push for online classes devalue the classroom? All I know is that I'd need more details before they could sell me on some of this. But allocating more money to those doing well in school and less or none to those who don't take it seriously or do well? I can see that. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying a 2.5 GPA or anything like that, but if you have a 0.5 and you are receiving federal aid, that's a problem.
What do you think about the proposed federal plan?

With fall semester in full swing, high school seniors are mere months away from deciding where they'll spend the next four (or more) years. And while there are multiple factors to consider when making such a major decision, most would argue that prestigious universities and high-earning salaries are intrinsically tied...or are they?
According to a recent study by College Measure, students who earn associate degrees and occupational certificates often earn more in their first year out of college than those with traditional four-year college degrees. Examining schools in Arkansas, Colorado, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, the study found that short-term credentials such as two-year degrees and technical certificates were worth more than bachelor's degrees in a graduate's early years. College Measures President Mark Schneider said, "The findings challenge some conventional wisdom, showing for example that what you study matters more than where you study. Higher education is one of the most important investments people make. The right choices can lead to good careers and good wages while the wrong ones can leave graduates with mountains of debt and poor prospects for ever paying off student loans." (For more on this study, click here.)
It's important to remember that the study focuses on short-term gains as opposed to long-term/lifelong earnings. It'd be interesting for College Measure to reexamine their findings over the next few years but what do you think of its current report? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section!

Choosing your major or school based solely on price is wrong. There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe my disagreement with this logic, but I will try.
First and foremost, college students (and people in general) will fail at things they don't care about or aren't excited about. If people choose their school or major based on price, they will likely not be going to the place they want to go or studying what they want to study. That's not really going to push them to succeed: College costs limit choices and ignores the idea that there are scholarships and other financial aid out there. If you qualify academically for a school, money should not (but unfortunately can) matter.
Another part of this mentality is too much parental control. Guess what, students? You're adults now. You're attending college and working on a presence in the real world – don't let your parents be that invisible hand that pushes you a direction that you don't want to go. If you choose a major or school they weren't pushing you to go to, I'm sure your parents will get over it eventually. (If not, too bad: It's your life.)
If money is the deciding factor, think of this: Your interests are cheapest. Why? Because if you attend school elsewhere or don't major in your preferred field, you won't be happy and won't do as well in classes. That could lead to not graduating on time and thus, more money spent. Even if you graduate, give it a few years and you'll realize that wasn't what you wanted and going back to school is not cheap. If you follow your interests from the start, you save the money spent on more school or another school. Also, look into the scholarship opportunities you qualify for because I guarantee there are more out there than you think.
My advice? Act on passion and interest, not what others tell you. The minute that money starts steering your life is the minute you risk your future. If you choose a major that you love at a school you love, you won't regret it.

With so much riding on whether or not you get in, applying for college can cause even the most confident students some serious anxiety. And with so many factors to consider like high school rankings, SAT/ACT scores, GPAs and community service hours, it's important to understand that more often than not, colleges are also factoring in a student's ability to pay...even when they say they're not. Insert outrage here.
Just last Friday, George Washington University's website claimed to evaluate applicants without considering their financial need (also known as a need-blind admissions approach) but now they're clarifying that policy: It now reads that while applications are first reviewed without consideration of need, "at the point of finalizing admissions decisions, we must balance a student's financial resources with the university's aid budget. This practice of being need-aware allows us to meet as much need of as many students as possible." Why the sudden transparency, GWU? Turns out that the school's new senior associate provost for enrollment management's recent interview with The GW Hatchet revealed that she characterized the university's policy as need-aware as opposed to need-blind. The problem? By being need-aware for years and suggesting otherwise, the university appears to not only have violated the Statement of Principles of Good Practice of the National Association for College Admission Counseling but encouraged low-income students to apply (and pay a hefty application fee!) on the false pretense that the university was need-blind. (For more on this story, click here.)
The ability to pay for college has long been a major factor when it comes to gaining admission but to blatantly advertise otherwise is undeniably uncool. What do you think of GWU's current predicament? Should the university face serious repercussions? Let us know in the comments section.

Five years after the financial crisis, recent college graduates (and folks in general!) still find themselves struggling with a stagnant job market. And with the slow pace of job growth looming, internships are a great way to for students to boast their resumes, gain experience in their fields of study and become more viable candidates once the economy does improve. Plus, according to a survey of more than 1,000 employers, 56.5-percent made full-time offers to their interns just last year. So if you're looking for a college that makes internship participation a priority, check out U.S. News and World Report's top colleges with the highest rate of undergraduates graduating with internship experience below:

'Tis the season for discount digging. With the holidays just a mere two weeks away, many people have gift-giving on the brain so it should come as no surprise that everyone's on the hunt for rock-bottom prices. And whether you're in the market for a new textured wrap sweater (who isn't?!), the latest Apple gadget or even a shiny new law degree, you're in luck! Yup, that's right future litigators: Law school is officially on sale in Iowa.
The University of Iowa College of Law has approved a 16.4-percent tuition cut for both in-state and out-of-state students. Beginning in the fall of 2014, Iowa residents will pay $21,965 in tuition – a $4,309 reduction – while nonresidents will see tuition fall by $7,750 to $39,500. Why the discount? Turns out that despite being ranked 26th nationally by U.S. News & World Report, enrollment for the law school has steadily declined since 2010. Law Dean Gail Agrawal admits that the tuition reduction is intended, in part, to help the law school compete for applicants and students who are increasingly concerned with cost and debt loads. "We want to take a leading role in the evolving face of legal education and ensure our place as a best value proposition among the top public law schools," she said. Keep in mind that the University of Iowa isn't the only law school bargain out there: The University of Arizona's James E. Rogers College of Law, the University of Akron School of Law, the University of Cincinnati College of Law and Ohio Northern University's Pettit College of Law have all announced tuition cuts in the past year.
Law school hopefuls, is discounted tuition enough for you to consider a school despite the current weak legal market? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

Here at Scholarships.com, we make a point to advocate the importance of funding your college education the right way – for free! – and while financing your higher education solely from scholarships is an amazing feat, there is a factor to consider: scholarship displacement.
If you don't know what scholarship displacement is, you're not alone. Believe it or not, winning a scholarship may not be the end-all be-all when it comes to paying for school because they can complicate the financial aid package offered by your intended university. Why? When a student wins a scholarship, the college may reduce the student's need-based financial aid package to compensate. For example, say a university offers a student a $15,000 grant and an additional $15,000 loan to cover the cost of attending. If the student were then to win a scholarship for $15,000, the college could retract its $15,000 grant. Colleges call this an over-award and the scholarship providers call it displacement.
Although this may seem discouraging, it shouldn't dissuade you from applying to scholarships altogether. Instead, do your homework, speak with your admissions counselor and know where your intended college stands when it comes to their scholarship policies. If you're brining a lot of scholarship dollars to the table, you have options. Every college is different and has their own guidelines when it comes to outside scholarships. If one university doesn't allow you to put those scholarship dollars to other costs – loans, books, room and board, etc. – enroll at one that does. You could also enlist the help of the scholarship sponsor: Some scholarship providers may have a lot of clout with the college, especially if their scholars make up millions of dollars of funding to the college.
If you have any additional questions about scholarship displacement, don't hesitate to ask us!

Sure, we've discussed the skyrocketing cost of college tuition on a daily basis and considering every other add-on you'll have to endure when it comes to paying for college – room and board, books and supplies – having to pay an outrageous application fee is downright cruel.
According to the U.S. News & World Report, the average application fee to apply to colleges is $38.39, which is a steal compared to the fees charged by the institutions listed below. At the top 28 schools with the highest application costs, the average application fee is $77! Check out the list below and share your thoughts. Let us know if these hefty fees will ultimately decide where you'll apply.

Patty Melt
Author Notes: I have to cop to absolutely loving the Friendly's Patty Melt growing up. This is my best shot at recreating that food memory. I cook most of the elements in my biggest frying pan because it's more like a Friendly's flat top grill than my gas grill is. - cheese1227 - cheese1227
Food52 Review: This will take you back to the 1970s, and you'll want to stay there until you've enjoyed every last succulent bite of this patty melt. You season the grass-fed burger meat (that's cheese1227's 21st century move) with mustard and Worcestershire, slap and nudge it into a patty, and fry it up in a pan. Then you layer the burger on rye bread, toasted in a pan with butter and topped with Gruyere, and sauteed onion and mushrooms. Cheese1227 calls for optional mayonnaise. We opted to leave it out. Our only note is that you can cook the burger on a grill, if you prefer. Actually, no, we have a second note: put this on the weekend menu, right now. - A&M - A&M
Serves two burgers
- 1 lb 85/15 ground beef (yes, I use grass fed, which I don't believe Friendly's does)
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 3-4 Tablespoons butter, softened and divided
- 6 button mushrooms, sliced
- ½ sweet onion, sliced thin, half-moon slices
- 4 slices of oval-shaped, light rye bread
- 4 ounces, thinly sliced Gruyere cheese
- Mayonnaise (optional)
- Pickles (absolutely crucial garnish)
- Mix ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper thoroughly. Divide mixture and form into two, oval patties. I like to make thinner patties, but shape them so that when they are fully cooked, they cover almost the whole bottom piece of rye bread as this is a sandwich in which each bite should have all the elements. Refrigerate the patties for about an hour or so.
- In a large frying pan, melt one tablespoon of butter over medium high heat and add the mushrooms. Make sure all the of the mushrooms get coated with butter, but then leave them untouched for 3-4 minutes so that one side gets some nice color before you stir them around so the other side can get some color.
- Remove the mushrooms from the pan. Add 2 tablespoons butter and the onion to the pan and cook slowly over medium to low heat for 10-15 minutes until the onions are soft and somewhat caramelized. Remove the onions from the pan and keep them warm with the mushrooms.
- Increase the heat to medium high and fry the burgers to desired doneness. I like mine medium rare, which typically takes 3-4 minutes per side to achieve.
- While the burgers are cooking, put a second skillet over medium heat and butter one side of each piece of rye bread. Put the bread buttered side down on the hot skillet until you see some nice color. On two of the slices of bread, place two ounces of Gruyere cheese.
- When the burgers are done and the bread nicely browned, assemble your burgers: Bottom piece of bread with cheese, beef patty, onions, mushrooms, optional mayonnaise and top piece of bread. I like to give them a firm press and then slice each in half before serving with a pickle.

This was delicious. With a freezer full of our own grass fed beef, I am always looking for something different to do with the hamburger (a quite large proportion of a side of beef is hamburger!). The rye bread is essential---mmm, rye from Maine's Borealis Bread. A sliced cucumber and dill salad from long and skinny Suyo cucumbers (seed from Johnny's Selected Seed Co in Albion, ME) rounded things out, along with Latham raspberries for dessert.

I love patty melts! made one the other night with Point Reyes Blue Cheese. ;) Have always preferred my burger on toasted rye to a bun. I grew up on the North Side of Chicago, and went to college at Northwestern, so my earliest patty melt memories are from Hackney's -- which I understand still exists.

As the two OU scientists of yesteryear ponder the contents of their lab beaker, it's easy to imagine them seeking the correct formula for the result they are trying to achieve. A similar challenge faced the first faculty, students and staff of Oakland University. How do we choose and mix the right ingredients that will achieve the perfect formula for a new university that leads to enduring success?
Forty-five years on, the formula has been a great success. With world-class faculty, a talented student body and dedicated staff, Oakland University has scaled heights never even imagined by its forefathers. Today, The Carnegie Foundation ranks Oakland as one of the country's 110 Doctoral/Research-Intensive universities; and The Princeton Review named Oakland in its first edition of "The Best Midwestern Colleges, 150 Great Schools to Consider," a book that showcases the top schools in 11 states based on academic excellence.
These accolades for the distinctive undergraduate experience and the commitment to graduate study that Oakland offers belong to every generation of Oakland students, faculty and staff, for each played a part in finding the right formula for success.

On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. Designed to weaken the Confederacy, it declared that all persons enslaved in a state, or part of a state, then in rebellion against the United States were and would be forever free. The 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, passed by Congress and ratified by the states in 1865, abolished slavery in all the states.

Sleek and powerful, with a little rebel attitude... that's the Winchester® Blaze 155 Crossbow! Easy to carry and even easier to maneuver in the woods, this 17.5" axle-to-axle powerhouse is one of the most compact crossbows you can find, and it packs enough punch to put others to shame.
While the modern styling will draw plenty of attention on the range and in camp, this dynamo offers a LOT more than just good looks... the Blaze develops arrow speeds up to 325 f.p.s. with more than 100 ft.-lbs. of energy, plus a trajectory flat enough to extend any hunter's effective range. It's USA-made for maximum power and speed, and comes dipped in effective Reaper Buck Camo, with your choice of scope.

Winchester® Blaze 155 Reaper Buck Camo Crossbow
Winchester® Blaze 155 Reaper Buck Camo Crossbowwith WXB-3 Scope The WXB-3 is a crystal-clear 3-power Scope that offers a wide field-of-view and excellent light-gathering ability. The uncluttered reticle has aiming points out to 70 yds. with a "peak-of-trajectory" mark to indicate the highest point of arrow trajectory. Includes flip-up lens cover.
Winchester® Blaze 155 Reaper Buck Camo Crossbowwith Kwik-Shot Scope The Kwik-Shot is an electronic dot Sight with no magnification. 3 dots, in either red or green, are adjustable through 5 brightness settings. These 3 dots are spaced to give high-performance crossbows like the Blaze 155 Reaper Buck an aiming point at 20, 30 and 40 yards. Rapid target acquisition and great low-light visibility make the Kwik-Shot a good choice for thick, dense cover.
Winchester® Blaze 155 Reaper Buck Camo Crossbowwith WXB Illuminator Scope The WXB Illuminator features a multi-line reticle ideally suited for crossbows. Aptly named the "Ideal-X", this reticle offers a traditional crosshair aiming point for each distance without the "picket fence" look that clutters other multi-range crossbow scopes. Tapered crosshairs draw your eye quickly to the center, and aiming points out to 70 yds. allow you to get the most from your crossbow. Unbreakable glass reticle can be illuminated in 2 colors with 5 brightness settings. Includes flip-up lens cover.
Winchester® Blaze 155 Reaper Buck Camo Crossbowwith WXB-Evolution FFP Scope The WXB-Evolution FFP is the only crossbow scope with Front Focal Plane (FFP) reticle technology. Crosshair spacing remains the same regardless of the power setting. Using the clean and precise Ideal-X reticle, the WXB-Evolution FFP is the only variable-power scope that is functional for ANY arrow speed on ANY crossbow. Whether you use the mammoth field-of-view on 1X (17' @ 20 yds.), or you dial in for pinpoint long-range accuracy at 4X, your predetermined reticle ranges remain unchanged. The unbreakable glass-etched reticle can be illuminated over a range of brightness settings to meet any hunting situation. Camera-quality, multi-coated lenses inside the large 30mm scope body will squeeze out every last minute of daylight so you can enjoy the hunt that much longer.

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

Public Enemy to headline Skid Row Music Festival on Sunday
Image: Shepard Fairey
Chuck D by Shepard Fairey via ObeyGiant.com
Chuck D and Public Enemy, The Real McCoy, and reggae artist Arise Roots, will put on a free concert for the residents of Los Angeles' Skid Row district on Sunday, January 15.
This event, dubbed as both the "Operation Skid Row Music Festival" and the "Occupy Skid Row Music Festival", is a call to action for "the Hip Hop community to get actively engaged in social organizations and social movements," according to a statement issued by the organizer, Los Angeles Community Action Network (LA CAN).
Pete White of LA CAN told KPCC that even though there will be famous rappers present, "it's not a show," explaining that in addition to music there will be speakers, poetry, conversation about social movements, and a "re-imagining" of some of the bleakest areas of our city.
Originally publicized as a music festival starring a dozen or so classic LA rap acts agreeing to play for free (names like Cypress Hill, Kurupt from the Dogg Pound, Mellow Man Ace and Zzyzzx, King T, Rapper's Rapp Group, Sir Jinx and General Population, OG Kid Frost, L.A. Posse, and the Egyptian Lover were bandied about), the sponsor-less, grassroots effort took a somewhat different musical shape as the play date approached. Chuck D and Public Enemy's involvement remained, despite a less robust supporting line-up.

Gorm (Graphic Object Relationship Modeller) is a GNUstep application for building user interfaces and application objects relationships. Its major features include drag-and-drop creation of GUI elements from palettes, run-time loading of additional palettes, direct on-screen manipulation of GUI elements, manipulation and examination of objects via inspectors, and creation of connections between objects using mouse. It is a clone of the former NeXTstep (currently OS X) "Interface Builder" application.
GNUstep is a cross-platform, object oriented environment composed of frameworks, tools, and servers (daemons). It is very similar to the Cocoa frameworks from Apple, and tries to maintain compatibility with Cocoa wherever it is desired and possible. The frameworks provide classes for containers, distributed objects, object archiving, file management, text system, font management, image composition, WYSIWYG PostScript graphics, and more.
DevelKit Framework is an GNUstep/Cocoa framework with tools for reading, understanding, and generating source code from other applications. Its goal is to allow applications to generate code from non-textual representation, such as diagrams or other kinds of descriptions. Example features: an ObjectiveC source reader and generator, a project builder class, source structure related classes (class, method, and instance variables), templates, a tool for automatically generating accessor (getter ad setter), dealloc and archiving methods (interface and implementation) for a given class, and more.

Small white plastic particles would perhaps be a water heater dip tube.
Is it on the hot or the cold side?
I have a strange thing happening. My tub faucet started leaking so I went to replace the cartridge as I have done a few times before. When I removed the Moen cartridge it had a bunch of pieces of little wax like paper stuck in different parts of the cartridge. I put in a new cartridge and it started leaking again a couple of days later. When I pulled out the new cartridge it also had this wax paper stuff clogging it up. Any ideas what this stuff is and how to get rid of it? Thanks.
Small white plastic particles would perhaps be a water heater dip tube.
Is it on the hot or the cold side?
Thanks for the reply. It is a single handle faucet. It does not look like the little residue that I see when I drain the hot water heater (it is real old) if that's what you are talking about.
It is more like little tiny strips of wax paper
There was a batch of water heater dip tubes that failed - they literally broke up into small white flakes. An old WH might have had one in it...that event was a long time ago. This did two things: clogged up valves, shower heads, and aerators; and, caused you to run out of hot water faster since instead of adding the cold water to the bottom of the tank, it mixed with the hot at the top.

St. Olaf Summer International Service Learning
Service in Thailand: Vocation and Non-Governmental Organizations
June 9-30, 2006
From L to R: José Martínez Romo '08 , Linn Dale '07, Khammawan Tangtanaporn '09, Luyen Dinh Phan '92, Vera Belazelkoska '09, Chad Goodroad '09
Luyen Dinh Phan '92, (International Student Adviser and Associate Director of Admissions), led a group of St. Olaf students to Thailand where they worked with the McKean Rehabilitation Center in Chiang Mai in order to understand how non-governmental organizations work to improve the lives of the people they serve.
The McKean Rehabilitation Center is named after its founder, James W. McKean, an American missionary surgeon who went to Chiang Mai in 1887. McKean's initial work was with leprosy patients. Today the McKean Center continues to work with leprosy patients but also with Thai citizens facing
a variety of diseases and disabilities.
The group worked with disabled elderly who reside in the Buraphaniwet Village. Many of these elderly patients have no homes or families. Luyen and his students provided non-critical nursing care to the residents, including but not limited to cleaning, feeding, helping with physical activites, and helping the patients attend church or temple services.
Click on the participant's name to read thier comments.
Luyen Dinh Phan '92, International Student Adviser and Associate Director of Admission first studied in Thailand as a student on the Term in Asia program, 1990-91. He lived in Thailand for five-years (94-99) working as an English teacher, managing the Thailand office of World Teach and then for Population Development International. Luyen will use the experience to better advise international students, stressing the mission of the College, as well as sharing the experience with prospective students and their families.
The following students were chosen for their diverse academic interests and personal experience. They are all developing into citizens of the world due to the fact that nearly all are currently international students at St. Olaf and/or were high school exchange students.
Vera Belazelkoska, Macedonia, '09
Vera hopes to work for the UN one day where she will be able to explore her interested in international relations, economics, and political science.
Linn Dale, Norway, '07
Linn would like to pursue a career in nursing upon completion of her St. Olaf students in psychology and exercise science.
Chad Goodroad, U.S., '09
Chad was a Rotary Exchange student in France (04-05) and aspires to work for an international NGO. He hopes to learn how McKean operates and apply his English and political science majors.
José Martínez Romo, México, '08
Jose, biology and Spanish education major, hopes to learn about Thailand culture and communication styles.
Khammawan (Tong) Tangtanaporn, Thailand, '09
Tong, chemistry major at St. Olaf, would like to attend medical school in the U.S. before retuning to her homeland. Tong will help with group with orientation.
